Jurisdiction and Cross-Border Transfer

Your personal information may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or in which we engage service providers.

  1. inquire whether and what kind of personal information we hold about you and how it is processed, and to access or request copies of such personal information,
  2. request the correction or supplementation of personal information about you that is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date in light of the purposes underlying the processing, or to

Your Provision of Personal Information to Us

Your use of the Site or Microsites and your provision of personal information to us is purely voluntary on your part. Subject to your sole discretion, you can, at any point, stop using the Site or Microsites or, where applicable, opt out of certain data processing operations as described in the Policy.

In that case, providing us with your related personal information is necessary for us to be able to enter into the contract with or provide any contractual services to you.

Geolocation Protocol Used to Determine User Location

We use MaxMind, Inc. services as integrated into Cookie Control by Civic Computing Ltd. to determine the location of Site or Microsites users. User control settings for cookies and other tracking technologies are based on this determination of user location. The geolocation service uses mapping from IPv4/IPv6 to geographical info and is updated regularly. Geolocation relying on IPs cannot be 100% accurate. Where we identify personal information submitted to us through forms or surveys as associated with a user located in the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom (UK), we suppress this information from target messaging campaigns. We do not use geolocation protocols with all forms and surveys. If you believe we have miscategorized your location as outside of the EU/EEA or the United Kingdom (UK), you may contact Earthjustice using the below contact information:
